Watchification.com uses the hacky way of embedding - when we first started to embed (early 2008) various BBC folk told us it was just a matter of time before it was officially allowed but it looks like politics/rights issues etc. have held this up.
What I think would be really exciting would be a site/service that wraps the hacky method in a super-easy front-end allowing anyone to do it just by selecting a programme from a list (or whatever)...
